Meet Donald Pelles, Ph.D.

Donald’s been practicing hypnotherapy in the DC area since 2007.

Why Might You Choose Donald Pelles in the DC Metro Area?

If you want to stop smoking, overcome a fear, improve your performance, or change a longstanding emotional pattern, Donald Pelles offers an analytical yet compassionate approach combining hypnosis, NLP, Core Transformation, and self-hypnosis.

Donald has practiced hypnotherapy in the Washington, DC area since 2007. Before entering the field, he taught mathematics and spent 28 years developing software. This background may appeal to you if you prefer a practitioner who approaches complicated problems with curiosity, structure, and individualized problem-solving.

How You May Benefit

Your personalized work may help you:

• Identify triggers reinforcing an unwanted habit

• Change automatic thoughts and behavioral responses

• Develop healthier ways to manage stress

• Reduce smoking-related cravings and routines

• Strengthen focus, confidence, and resilience

• Prepare more calmly for dental or medical procedures

• Improve mental performance in sports or professional settings

• Learn self-hypnosis for continued practice

A Three-Session Smoking-Cessation Program

Donald’s smoking-cessation program includes three appointments. The main session lasts approximately two hours, followed by two shorter sessions for reinforcement and follow-up.

He reports that more than 75 percent of clients who complete all three sessions remain smoke-free after 12 months. This is a practitioner-reported outcome rather than an independently verified success rate. Ask how the figure was calculated, how follow-up was conducted, and how clients who could not be contacted were counted.

No program can guarantee permanent smoking cessation. Your nicotine dependence, motivation, participation, health, and circumstances may influence your results.

Core Transformation and NLP

Donald is one of a limited number of trainers authorized by Core Transformation developer Connirae Andreas to lead Core Transformation workshops.

This process is intended to help you explore the positive purpose an unwanted behavior or emotional response may be trying to serve. You can then work toward meeting that underlying need in a more constructive way.

This may be particularly useful if you understand what you want to change but continue returning to the same reaction, habit, or internal conflict.

Additional Areas of Focus

Donald also offers individualized support involving:

• Anxiety and stress-related patterns

• Weight-management habits

• Fears and phobias

• Dental and medical-procedure anxiety

• Pain-management skills

• Executive and sports performance

• Spiritual exploration

• Feeling emotionally stuck
